EXPLANATION OF ABBREVIATIONS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



For the sake of economizing space an arbitrary set of abbreviations has been adopted 

 for the names of entomologists whose records have been included. The Roman numerals 

 used indicate the month in which the adult insect was found. The abbreviations following 

 generic and specific names are as usually printed in lists and no explanation is here given of 

 these authors and their works. The cuts used to illustrate well-known insects of various 

 families were kindly loaned by the Entomological Society of Ontario.
